    On the origin of planar covariation of elevation angles during human locomotion

    No full text
    Leg segment rotations in human walking covary, so that the three-dimensional trajectory of temporal changes in the elevation angles lies close to a plane. Recently the role of central versus biomechanical constraints on the kinematics control of human locomotion has been questioned. Here we show, based on both modeling and experimental data, that the planar law of intersegmental coordination is not a simple consequence of biomechanics. First, the full limb behavior in various locomotion modes (walking on inclined surface, staircase stepping, air-stepping, crouched walking, hopping) can be expressed as 2 degrees of freedom planar motion even though the orientation of the plane and pairwise segment angle correlations may differ substantially. Second, planar covariation is not an inevitable outcome of any locomotor movement. It can be systematically violated in some conditions (e. g., when stooping and grasping an object on the floor during walking or in toddlers at the onset of independent walking) or transferred into a simple linear relationship in others (e. g., during stepping in place). Finally, all three major limb segments contribute importantly to planar covariation and its characteristics resulting in a certain endpoint trajectory defined by the limb axis length and orientation. Recent advances in the neural control of movement support the hypothesis about central representation of kinematics components

    Lightweight stream ciphers for green IT engineering

    No full text
    At the moment the most widely used are symmetric cryptographic transformations, in particular, stream ciphers. The development of an efficient synchronous stream cipher is reduced to the construction of a pseudo-random sequence generator with defined cryptographic properties. It should be noted that in devices with limited computing power, low volume and low power consumption the implementation of reliable cryptographic methods is extremely complicated. Limited physical parameters, low power consumption, low computing power and other characteristic attributes of “green” IT engineering forces the use of new approaches for designing cryptographic protection tools. The main cryptographic transformations are considered and experimental studies of performance and statistical security are conducted. We propose new methods and hardware and software tools for lightweight stream encryption that meet the current requirements of “green” IT engineering. It is proposed synthesis method for the construction of nonlinear-feedback shift register, which allows creating nonlinear registers with design features that correspond to the certain predefined criteria
